Is choosing avionics over other worth it?

The course fee is fixed and it takes approximately 8-10 lakhs in total for four years for a general category student, and it takes very much less if you have some kind of reservation. And they offer some scholarships but the income should be less.

No, you are not eligible to apply for the Master of Technology [M. Tech] (Material Science and Technology) as the minimum eligibility set requires one to have B.E./B.Tech./Master of Science degree in the relevant subject from a recognized university with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks.
